Location: La Seca, Valladolid, Espanha
The Cantalapiedra family has made wine from several generations in the municipality of La Seca, half an hour southwest of Valladolid in Castilla y Leon; heart of the Rueda appellation. There are records of the Cantalapiedras’ grape-growing dating to the 19th century, but the current version of the domaine can be traced directly to the year 1949, when the grandfather, Heliodoro, planted his first vineyard plot at young age of 15. For many years, Heliodoro’s son Isaac worked alongside him, and together they now farm 20 hectare, all certified organic. In the past they sold the majority of their grapes to the large cooperatives in the area, but since 2014, they have farmed and bottled their own wines at the estate.
The family strives to go beyond organic, and incorporate many biodynamic practices into their viticulture. This is the mindset of a producers that is first and foremost a farmer, and something they take pride in. In the cellar, Manuel uses wild yeasts for fermentation, minimal amounts of sulfur, and no other additions.

Considered one of the best producers in the Côte de Nuits (which means Burgundy, which means the rest of the world). Robert established the domaine in the 1930s, buying fabled vineyards in Bonnes Mares, Chambertin Clos de Bèze and Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses (the biggest single owner of this vineyard), and became famous for making ultra precise and delicate Pinot Noirs that have no apparent comparison outside of Burgundy.
Fabrice studied enology in Beaune before fine tuning his skills as a winemaker at the Cooperative of Pupillin. He started working at Domaine de Saint Pierre in 1989 as a manager and took full control in 2011. The Domaine achieved organic certification in 2012, having started conversion in 2002.
Young Thibaud Brocard is the fifth generation of Champagne Brocard Pierre to lead the domaine near the village of Celles-sur-Ource in Côte de Bars in the easternmost part of the region.
